"Three and a half million."
"Three million eight hundred thousand."
Four million.
"Four million one hundred thousand."
"Four and a half million."
Five million.
At this moment, A Yao suddenly spoke up: "Six million."
Her words silenced the entire room. Pairs of eyes fell upon A Yao, some with surprise, some with anger, and some with scrutiny. The black-robed elder presiding over the auction sized A Yao up, thinking this female cultivator was somewhat reckless. A mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dared to compete with so many late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators for the Phoenix Tear—she truly had no fear of death!
Not only did the old man in black robes think this way, but many people present also thought so. This female cultivator in purple was really out of her mind, trying to snatch things from a group of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. She would probably be killed if she went out like this.
However, some people felt that this female cultivator in purple might have something to rely on, which was why she was so fearless.
Before Ayao made her bid, no one else bid against her.
In the end, A Yao bought the Phoenix Tears.
The auction continued, and after it ended, the old man in black robes told Ayao to leave first. This was a rule of his auction; he allowed the highest-spending customer to leave first. Ayao glanced at the old man, knowing he meant well, letting her leave first so she would have a chance to escape.
Ayao transmitted a message: "Thank you."
After saying that, a burst of light appeared on her body, transforming into a long purple rainbow that shot off into the distance.
The old man in black robes watched A Yao leave, but he didn't believe she could escape the encirclement of so many Nascent Soul stage monsters. Even with her early Nascent Soul stage speed, she would be caught quickly, even after running for several hours. Unless, of course, this woman in purple truly had something to rely on.
————
A purple rainbow streaked swiftly across the sky from the clouds, followed by seven rainbows of different colors, as if they were chasing each other.
A Yao kept increasing her speed, but she just couldn't shake off those Nascent Soul stage monsters chasing after her.
Suddenly, a purple-robed man with a scar on his face pointed, and countless purple throwing knives appeared before him. These knives shot towards A-Yao with incredible speed, like streaks of purple lightning, catching up with her in an instant. A-Yao had no choice but to turn around and form hand seals to defend herself.
Ayao quickly formed hand seals, and a massive golden shield of light protected her. All the purple flying knives were blocked by the golden shield. However, after the golden shield blocked the knives, countless cracks appeared, and it shattered. In just a short while, all the Nascent Soul stage monsters had caught up and surrounded Ayao.
"That ignorant woman dares to try and steal the Phoenix Tear from us." The scarred man in the purple robe sneered.
The woman in red palace attire smiled and asked, "Where is this fellow Daoist from?"
Another man, completely covered from head to toe, said, "Hand over the Phoenix Tears."
Ayao looked at these guys, stroking her long, black hair with one hand: "What do you plan to do if I don't hand it over? Kill me?"
"Seeing that your primordial yin is still intact, I wouldn't mind letting you experience the blissful pleasure of dual cultivation before you die." The scarred man looked at A Yao's graceful body with a lewd gaze. The primordial yin of a female cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm would be of great help to him. Using her as a furnace would be wonderful.
More than one person shared the same thought as the scarred man, but as soon as the scarred man finished speaking, he saw a white light fly out of the storage bag at A Yao's waist. The light flew towards him, and its speed was so fast that even he, a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, could not see what it was before his body exploded, and his Nascent Soul was grabbed by a hand.
Everyone was horrified, staring in horror at the white-clad man who had suddenly appeared.
No, it's a white-clad corpse puppet.
This white-robed corpse puppet had long, flowing hair and wore a silver mask, obscuring its appearance, but it exuded the aura of a Void Refinement stage expert.
What?
Disbelief was written on everyone's faces.
They couldn't believe that a Nascent Soul cultivator at the early stage could possess a Void Refinement stage corpse puppet. How could someone with only the early Nascent Soul cultivation level control a Void Refinement stage corpse puppet?
The white-clad corpse puppet held a struggling nascent soul in its grasp. Its eyes, visible through its mask, were bloodshot, and its white robes fluttered in the wind. To the horror of the onlookers, the white-clad corpse puppet devoured the scarred man's nascent soul.
The Nascent Soul stage monsters were so frightened that they immediately scattered and fled in all directions.
Long streaks of light shot across the sky in different directions, but the gap between the Nascent Soul stage and the Void Refinement stage was simply too vast. The white-robed corpse puppet effortlessly caught up with them, killing them one by one and devouring their Nascent Souls. Then, it returned to A Yao with several storage bags.
Ayao smiled as she put away the storage bag, then looked at Xiaobai and said, "Well done."
She reached out and patted Xiaobai's head.
White-robed corpse puppet: "..."
Because carrying a Void Refinement stage corpse puppet was too conspicuous, A Yao usually kept Xiao Bai in her storage bag, only releasing it when needed. She often played dumb to deceive others, and encountered similar situations frequently, but to A Yao, it was simply an unexpected windfall.
If they want to kill themselves, then they have no one to blame but themselves for being killed.
She has always believed in the principle of "I won't offend others unless they offend me."
Ayao flew away with Xiaobai into the distance. Some people who were hiding around but hadn't made a move wiped away a cold sweat. This purple-clad female cultivator really did have something to rely on; no wonder she was so arrogant.
Actually, those guys who were just killed by Xiaobai did consider that Ayao might have something to rely on, but with so many of them coming together, they thought that no matter what trump card Ayao had, she couldn't possibly defeat so many late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators working together. How could they have imagined that the trump card of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would actually be a Void Refinement stage corpse puppet?
If they had known beforehand, they would never have dared to mess with A-Yao, even if you beat them to death.
Ayao found a spot and carefully inventoried her spoils; this haul was truly substantial. These late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators all had quite a few valuable items in their storage bags. She found a token in one of their bags, and after scanning it with her divine sense, she discovered it was the key to a high-level cave dwelling in Yutian City.
Yutian City is one of the most famous cultivation cities in the Cangyuan Realm. It is a very prosperous city where you can buy almost anything, such as different levels of cave dwellings. Ayao was looking for a place to cultivate when she saw the jade token. She put it away and flew towards Yutian City with Xiaobai.
